THE wrTCH.s FATE.
A Cruel Prejudice of Old Times More
Than EQualed Now.

y
Not many decades ago In this country
the people were excited over witchcraft.
Persons suspected were thrown into the
water If not witches, they would drown !;
If they were witches, they would swim.
ashore and would be put. to death! In
any event, they were doomed
Not many years ago If q person were.
taken sick with advanced disorder of the
kidneys, the physician would pronounce
the disease Bright's disease, and when so
declared he regarded bis responsibility at
an end, for medical authority admitted
that the disease was incurabie.
When the physician found patient
thus afflicted he would say. "Oh, q slight
attack Of the kidneys |; will be all right in
a little WHILE" He knew to the con-
trary. But If be conld keep his patient
on bis hands for few mOnthsih he knew
he would derive a great revenue from his
case, and then when the disease had pro.
crossed to certain stage he would state
the facts and retire, exonerated from all
blame.
But the error of supposing the disease
incurable has swayed the public mind,
long after the fact has ceased to be- But
public opinion has been educated to the
true status of the case by those who have
discounted the incurability theory, and
the public recognizes and testifies TO the
fact that Warmers safe cure is a specific
for this disease. This has been shown
with thousands of testimonials.
Upon referring to them in our 1ies we
find that IS, 900 reward will be given to
any one who can prove that SO far as the
manufacturers know they are not genu.
inc, and that hundreds of thousands SINH
lar IN character could be published, If it
we're necessary.
This condition of things is very anus
ing to the journalist, who looks upon all
sides of every question. Proof should be
for many years. It seems strange that
when proprietary medicine is doing the
| good that Warmers safe cure is, that the
physicians do not publicly indorse It,
| Many of them, we are told, privately pre-
scribe 1t, as 1t is sold by dealers in every
part of the country.
A few years ago, as stated when man
had Bright's disease, the doctor boldly
announced 1t, because he thought 1t re-
lieved him of responsibility.
To-day when prominent people are dy-
ing land hundreds of thousands of COM
mon people die of the same disease), we
are told that doctors disguise the fact
that 1t is Bright's disease OF the kidneys
and say that they die of paralysis, of apo
plexy, Of pneumonia, of consumption, of
general debility, of rheumatism, of heart
disease, of blood poisoning, or some other
Of the names of the direct effects of kid
ney disease. They are not the real d.
sease ITSELF
We sometimes wonder II they avoid
stating the real cause Of disease for fear
they will drive the public into patronage
Of the only scientific proprietary specific
for kidney diseases and the thousand and
one diseases that originate In inactive
kidneys.
We do not believe every advertisement
we read. Some people perhaps May re-
gard this article as an advertisement and
will not believe 1t, but we are candid
enough to say that we believe the parties
above mentioned have stated their case
and proved it, and under such circum-
stances the public is unwise II 1t is longer
influenced by adverse prejudice.
